Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin

In the organizer's words:

Sound made of glass

Their sound is like nothing else. Fragile and ghostly. Mozart wrote music for the glass harmonica and so did Jörg Widmann. Both works open the doors to the other world in concert with the RSB.

Jörg Widmann is both conductor and composer on this evening. During a short presentation, he will introduce his work "Armonica" for glass harmonica, accordion and symphony orchestra to the audience and explain the special features of the glass harmonica. The piece will then be played.
